WebServer - Mint 19.3

Note: On Mint 19.3, the instructions here for installing the LAMP stack installs php 7.2.24. On Mint 20, this installs php 7.4.3. This MIGHT be an important point to keep in mind for later...

If you expect to need php newer than 7.2.24 on a Mint 19.3 server, force it to upgrade before you move on to installing the packages:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php # Press enter to confirm.
• sudo apt update
• sudo apt upgrade
• php -v

(Verify that it's showing a suitable version of php. I'm seeing 7.4.10 in testing...)
